Our vision

1) To offer free and inexpensive means of promoting all types of business, from sole traders and home-based freelancers, up to large enterprises throughout Sheffield.

2) To develop a network, linking local community with local business.

The questions inspiring our vision include:

Could we develop a comprehensive compendium showing who is doing what in different postcode areas?

Could we make it easy to search for specific business categories in a particular area?

How could small businesses be helped to raise their profile without paying a fortune?

How could we encourage local people to buy local?

How could local community groups be supported?

Could we help promote the work of local charities and non-profit organisations?

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way of linking these different sectors and create a network that would benefit business and community!

The answer was to bring all these different sectors under one roof, to give local people and businesses a dedicated site within which to shine a spotlight on the countless skills, expertise, professionalism, knowledge and support that exist all over Sheffield.
